I'm packing everything up to send him now... We've had so much fun! I always hate the wait between rounds, because I stay stuck in the habit of "ooh this would make a good LV picture" and reach for my camera and find no LV in my purse.

I am going through the same thing! I came upon something yesterday and thought, great pic with Anana. Oh, well...

Big, beautiful scrapbook (with an ampersand hidden on every page, according to my note!)

The CUTEST little Picasso-style drawing of Anana!

Isn't one of the best things about LV swaps the weirdly awesome stuff you can get from other places? This is a piece of a sap bucket and a white chocolate snowmobile... two things I would NEVER find in Virginia!

Postcard, bits of Anana's costumes as seen here in the gallery, maple candy (YUMMM), chocolate Necco wafers (my favorites!), a neat little coin purse, a funny (like "bloopers" sort of) second photo album which is hilarious, and bags of gummi bears used as packing material to keep things from shifting around... and a microfilm label bracelet!!! I'll be the envy of all the librarians

So glad you are happy with the package. When I was a kid, I would see those antique sap bucket sides turned into candelabras. They sold to tourists like hot cakes! You could do that, make it into a key holder with just one or two simple cup hooks, or get wilder.forgot to write in my letter to you about the scrapbook... one exactly like it was my first ever scrap book as a child of ten. Then I saw this vintage one on the internet and squealed. After I had put it all together, I thought 'wait a minute, this is meaningful to me, not Alexandra...' Hope you did not find it too tacky.
